Snake Hill at North Park will play home to an old-fashioned soap box derby Aug. 9.

Open to children ages 5-12, the event kicks off at 11 a.m. with races in two divisions: standard kit and modified kit.

Winners will receive prizes and get the chance to race the winners of races in two other communities. Prizes also will be awarded to fastest and most creative cars.

Car kits are available at Greater Fall River Re-Creation, 72 Bank St., for $90, including the registration fee. For already built cars, the registration fee is $25. Registration must take place two weeks prior to the race. Assembly help will be available July 26, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., at Re-Creation.

The North End Neighborhood Association is supporting the event. More information is available by calling (508) 679-0922.
